Lyrics

We were born in the mountains
Raised on the plains
Carried in the memory
Of drought and flooding rains

Carved a path through stone valleys
Barricaded everywhere
When our love flooded over
It woke the flowers sleeping there

Darling one, I can't refuse you
You pour into me
We are wild, wild, rivers
On our way to the sea

There's a spirit that I'm feeling
That will make our love complete
I will find you in the red earth
Where two rivers meet

They'll be lighting fires
All along our river beds
Like that serpent ever winding
Our old skin we will shed

Darling one, I can't refuse you
You pour into me
We are wild, wild, rivers
On our way to the sea
